Many antipredator responses are mediated or induced by the ability of the prey to identify chemical cues of predators. The presence of chemicals produced by predators may alert tadpoles to the presence of the predators, and a heightened response to alarm cues or predator presence may increase the possibility of prey survival. We examined changes in morphology, and growth and development rates of Physalaemus santafecinus tadpoles reared in the presence of chemical cues of water beetles (Hydrophillidae) and a fish (Characidae). We recorded the time to metamorphosis, as well as weights of metamorphic individuals to determine if the larval stage is accelerated. The experiments were performed under microcosm conditions, with three treatments—c...
